I came across this teacher's website this summer: http://mrsbunyi.com/ She is a teacher at a gifted magnet school in TN and she is a teacher blogger for Scholastic. Check out her "Word Study Words" and her method of combining Reading/Writing conferences (http://blogs.scholastic.com/3_5/2008/09/conference-esse.html#more). ~Shelley

Here is the self/peer editing bookmark document I talked about today that was developed by Kathy Rekstis. It's somewhat aligned to the 4th Grade DWA assessment criteria. ~Shelley, 12/8/09


Julie found this great website - a school in Canada outlined their balanced literacy approach, as well as offered lots of online resources for their teachers
